and
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+carp+works
from first hit:
...
By combining the features of CARP and pfsync, a group of two or more
firewalls can be used to create a highly-available, fully redundant
firewall cluster.CARP:Handles the automatic failover of one firewall to
another.pfsync:Synchronizes the state table amongst all the firewalls. In
the event of a failover, traffic can flow uninterrupted through the new
master firewall.
...
ifstated comes into the game if you have to manage application reloads/up's
and downs
based at the state of a NIC/Interface...
AFAIK The IP-Take over on the NIC itself is managed automagically by carp.
Its built-in funtionality of that protocol.
Applications like mysql, lighttpd, apache, cyrus, just to name few, need to
know that there is now another IP-Address
where they have to listen too...so you can tell them about with ifstated.
it are mostly a bit more complex jobs to do triggerefd by ifstated, this is
just a simple example
